Whats Looking Good In April 2023

What am I doing wrong Woo. I nabbed a chunk of Bergenia from my parent's garden before selling the house ,most keeled over and died and the miniscule bit that was left is still ,after nearly 3 years,.....miniscule!!

 

Ah ha!!! It's in a sunny spot Woo...

Is now a good time to move it?

Thanks so much for getting back to me.....I desperately want it to live and hopefully thrive ,especially being one from my parent's garden

 

Thank you so much Woo ,that job will go to the top of my list.

Unfortunately there's not enough to divide so an all out move will be carried out.

 

It will be fine in a shady spot @Upsydaisy, I have two big clumps of it in damp shade.

 

Thanks Michael, I've just ventured out and found a couple of places that look perfect for it. I will wait until the weather settles down to gently move it.

 

Some wallflowers

 

Lovely colours.

 

A few tulips from today

 

Thank you Victoria

 

The pond's coming back to life..


What was supposed to be a 'blue wave' bank but most 'blue' plants turn out a pinkish mauve. The Lithodora, Camassia and Campanula do their best...

 

Leptospermum

Freesias four months late

Heuchera and Erodium

Photinia 'Pink Marble' at it's finest

 

A weeping Cercis siliquastrum



The last Magnolia 'Heaven Scent' flowers

The only shady and relatively damp bit of the garden....Brunnera, Hosta, Lilies, Geum and Kirengeshoma just about hang on
